Roll Cages/Bars. Anyone have them?
Hello all,
I'm looking to install and roll cage into my C5 Z06. I'm a GM Vette tech so I'm quite handy with tools. I have access to a tubing bender but may not have the time to make my own. I came across this "bolt-in" roll bar, also to mount my harness'. Have any of you installed or have any of these?
Thanks!

I plan on buying my bolt in rollbar from Steve at RSD. His kit uses through bolts, most others use rivnuts. They come with optional 5 or 6 point, and removable door bars. They are already powdercoated black.
Oh and his are good down to 10.0

on the floor is too high. You can catch your foot getting in and
out. Also the attachment at the seat also is in the way getting in and out. I saw a RSD rollbar in person, so I saw these problems. All of
these rollbars are good to 10, not just RSD.

Go to a well respected chassis shop. While some of these bolt in bars will work, they can't hold a candle to the fit and finish of a properly welded in bar.

weld bar will be a problem to remove.. now, I will keep my
vette forever so no problem worrying about a rollbar.
